Cardiomed24: Our range of services

At Cardiomed24 we offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic examinations for the heart, lungs, vessels and circulation. The focus is on personal patient contact with thorough physical examination and intensive consultation (also second opinion consultation), combined with high-end equipment and imaging diagnostics.

We have expertise in the consultation, diagnosis and therapy of cardiac, pulmonary, vascular and circulatory diseases.

Our expertise includes the detection and treatment of

  • Coronary artery disease (e.g. angina pectoris, coronary heart disease)

  • Heart weakness (cardiac insufficiency, heart dysfunction, heart insufficiency)

  • Cardiac arrhythmias of all kinds (e.g. atrial fibrillation)

  • Inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis)

  • Heart diseases after chemo-, immune- and antibody therapy

  • Heart attack (myocardial infarction)

  • Cardiovascular risk factors

  • High blood pressure (hypertension)

  • Diseases of veins and arteries

  • Circulatory disorders

  • Peripheral arterial disease

  • Lung diseases such as irritable cough, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis, atypical mycobacteria, pulmonary embolism, lung cancer and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

  • Dizziness, collapse states and loss of consciousness (syncope)

  • Long-/Post-Covid syndrome

Our range of services

  • Laboratory tests of all kinds

  • Blood pressure measurements, determination of oxygen content

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)

  • Ultrasound examinations of the heart, lungs and pleura, vessels (arteries and veins), abdominal organs and thyroid gland

  • Stress ultrasound examination of the heart (stress echocardiography)

  • Lung function tests (spirometry)

  • Long-term blood pressure measurements

  • Long-term ECG (up to 7 days)

  • 3-Tesla MRI for heart and vessels

  • Whole body 3-Tesla MRI

We are a partner of the Bioscientia laboratory community in Moers and are networked with the laboratory. The results of the laboratory tests are available online just a few hours after collection.

Further diagnostics and therapies

Heart and vessels

  • Special imaging diagnostics (cardiovascular 3-Tesla MRI and cardiovascular CT, thorax CT/ MRI)

  • Transesophageal echocardiography

  • Cardioversions (electrial and by medication/antiarrhythmic drugs)

  • Complex heart valve diagnostics (interventional heart valve therapy)

  • Cardiac catheterization

  • Dilatation of coronary artery stenoses

  • Dilatation of stenoses of all vessels of the body, especially of the pelvic and leg vessels but also of the abdominal vessels and the renal vessels

  • Vein treatments

  • Implantation of event recorders

  • Device implantation (pacemakers, defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy/CRT)

  • Implantation of atrial ooccluders (in patients with atrial fibrillation and bleeding complications under blood thinning therapy)

  • Interventional treatment of cardiac arrhythmias (catheter ablation therapy)

Lung

  • Spiroergometry

  • Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage

  • Endobronchial ultrasound with fine needle aspiration

  • Argon plasma coagulation

  • Biopsies and punctures

  • Special lung function diagnostics

Further diagnostic evaluations and specialized therapeutic measures can be carried out at your request by Prof. Dr. med. Burkhard Sievers and Dr. med. Heinz-Wilhelm Esser. If desired, we can therefore offer you continued personal medical care by Prof. Sievers and Dr. Esser.

Any necessary additional examinations may be performed on an outpatient basis or, if required, during a short inpatient stay. Naturally, you retain full freedom of physician choice and may decide whether further diagnostic and therapeutic measures are to be carried out in practices and hospitals cooperating with Prof. Sievers and Dr. Esser or in any other practice or clinic of your choosing.
